A. Proposed Project Title

VOICE RECOGNITION AND VOICE GUIDANCE BASED GPS TURNBY-TURN NAVIGATOR FOR BLIND WITH ULTRASONIC OBSTACLE
AVOIDANCE
B. Why do think this is required?
(State the problem statement limited to 500 words)
The main aim of the project is to design a navigator system for the blind based on GPS, voice
recognition and ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection. This advantage of this device is voice based
announcement for easy navigation i.e. the user gets the voice which pronounces the directions he
need to move to reach his destination. Here instead of the alerting through alarm, the user can directly
hear the location recorded by the user himself using voice recognition system. GPS is the acronym
for Global Positioning System. It is employed to find the position where the user is located on the
earth. This information is provided by the GPS receiver with the help of the data it receives from the
satellites. Ultrasonic Sensor senses the obstacles in its path by continuously transmitting the
ultrasonic waves. If any obstacle comes in its vicinity then the ultrasonic waves get reflected back to
the system. The ultrasonic receiver senses these ultrasonic waves and this information are passed to
the Microcontroller. The microcontroller gives alerts through voice message. The controlling device
of the whole system is a Microcontroller. The user needs to give the destination location through
voice to voice recognition system which is interfaced to Microcontroller. The Microcontroller checks
the destination given with already stored locations and gives the navigation directions of destination
with the help of GPS data, through voice circuit interfaced to the Microcontroller.
Also, this system is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, which is capable of detecting obstacles in its
path and controller alerts the user through voice circuit in case of any obstacles, which helps the user
to avoid obstacles in his way. This system is very helpful for blind people. The Microcontroller is
programmed using Embedded C language.
